The weather is set to get much milder after the sudden heat wave which has recently hit the country.

Yesterday's weather brought unseasonable highs of up to 25C in some parts of the country.

Temperatures are expected to fall a massive 10C to the typical average for a warm April of around 15C across the UK, with a good chance of rain.

Tomorrow the temperatures will dip a little more, with highs of 15C in some places and winds as high as 14mph.

With thick cloud expected across most of the south of England, many parts of the country aren't expected to see any sunny spells all day Friday.

However, parts of Cornwall and Somerset will be continuing the trend of unseasonably warm weather, with highs of 19C expected in some areas of South West England as the sea fog which has been hanging around the coastline disperses.

Looking ahead, Saturday is set to be a little sunnier, with highs of 17C, and almost no chance of rain for most of the UK.

These temperatures will dip again on Sunday, with highs of 14C, prompted by strong winds and a good chance of rain.
